May 2, 2014 - CHICAGO (Reuters) - New efforts to force labeling of foods made with genetically modified crops, including a bill introduced by U.S. lawmakers Wednesday, have struck a nerve with biotech crop developers who say they are rushing to roll out a broad strategy to "combat" consumer concerns about their products. Executives from Monsanto Co., DuPont, and Dow Chemical, among the world's largest developers of biotech crops and the chemicals used to help produce them, told Reuters this week they are putting together a campaign aimed at turning the tide on what they acknowledge is a growing public sentiment against genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used as ingredients in the nation's food supply... http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/25/us-usa-gmo-labeling-idUSBRE93O18S20130425 FOODS THAT ARE GMO http://www.organiclifestylemagazine.com/foods-that-are-gmo/ MARCH WITH THE MOMS ON JULY 4TH: MOMS ACROSS AMERICA SAY LABEL GMOs ...

29 April 2013 - LifeWise Europe will enforce the world’s first continent-wide ban on widely used insecticides linked to serious harm in bees, after a European commission vote on Monday, April 29, 2013. The landmark suspension is a victory for millions of environment campaigners concerned about dramatic declines in bees who were backed by experts at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). But it is a serious defeat for the chemical companies who make billions a year from the products and also UK ministers, who both argued that the ban will harm food production. “Today’s pesticide ban throws Europe’s bees a vital lifeline, following a massive campaign backed by 2.6 million people,” said Iain Keith, at Avaaz. “Europe is taking science seriously and must now put the full ban in place, to give bees the breathing space they need.”... http://southweb.org/lifewise/europe-will-enforces-worlds-first-continent-wide-ban-on-insecticides-harming-bees/ June 13, 2013 BBC News Science & Environment BANNED PESTICIDES MAY BE HAVING WIDER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22893619 June 12, 2012 Nation of Change WE'D BETTER WAKE UP: WORLDWIDE HONEY BEE COLLAPSE: A LESSON IN ECOLOGY http://www.nationofchange.org/worldwide-honey-bee-collapse-lesson-ecology-1371046688 May 15, 2013 Science Daily NEONICOTINOID INSECTICIDES LEAD TO STARVATION OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS : New Study reveals honeybees aren't the only organisms suffering from the adverse effects of neonicotinoid insecticide use: the toxic chemicals are also killing freshwater invertebrates http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/05/130515203015.htm June 12, 2013 Inhabitat RESEARCHERS CREATE HONEYBEE SPERM BANK TO BREED COLONY OF SUPERBEES http://inhabitat.com/researchers-create-honeybee-sperm-bank-to-breed-colony-of-superbees/ April 30, 2013 Yale Environment 360 DECLINING BEE POPULATIONS POSE A THREAT TO GLOBAL AGRICULTURE http://e360.yale.edu/feature/declining_bee_populations_pose_a_threat_to_global_agriculture/2645/ June 7, 2013 Scientific American HONEYBEES AND MONOCULTURE AGRICULTURE: NOTHING TO DANCE ABOUT http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2013/06/07/honey-bees-and-monoculture-nothing-to-dance-about/ June 5, 2013 Fractured Paradigm ARE BEES CAUGHT IN A GENETICALLY MODIFIED DOWNWARD SPIRAL? http://fracturedparadigm.com/2013/06/05/are-bees-caught-in-a-genetically-modified-downward-spiral/ May 12, 2013 Global Research GMO AGRICULTURE AND CHEMICAL PESTICIDES ARE KILLING BEES -- AND YOUR FOOD http://www.globalresearch.ca/neonicotinoid-pesticides-ongoing-death-of-the-beas-epa-slapped-with-lawsuit/5334816 WATCH: *** Video: WHAT'S KILLING THE BEES AND YOU: Vanishing of the Bees - Beekeeper Leaks EPA Document" - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_0Mrm9Y6khk#!

Forty percent of the crops grown in the United States contain their genes. They produce the world’s top selling herbicide. Several of their factories are now toxic Superfund sites.

October 10, 2012 Mother Jones, Tom Philpott A blistering new Oxfam report debunks the theory that export crops are the best use of land in the developing world. This idea dominates the marketing material of giant agrichemical firms like Monsanto. "In order to feed the world's growing population, farmers must produce more food in the next fifty years than they have in the past 10,000 years combined"... The globe's farms are already producing enough food to feed 12 billion people—twice the current population and a third again more than the peak of 9 billion expected to be reached in 2050. Yet at least 925 million people lack access to enough to eat. What causes hunger isn't insufficient crop yields but rather people's economic relationships to food: whether they have access to land to grow it, or sufficient income to buy it. http://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2012/10/want-feed-world-first-stop-land-grabs THE HUNGER GAMES - HOW UK, USA SUPPORT FOR BIG AGRIBUSINESS IS FUELING POVERTY IN AFRICA http://sco.lt/5wKm1Z May 21, 2013 Jeffrey Hollender THE POVERTY CREATION INDUSTRY http://www.jeffreyhollender.com/?p=2799 WATCH: PBSNewshour Video Report +++IN EL SALVADOR, AMERICAN JUNK FOOD CREATING CHAOS WITH HEALTH, CHILDREN AND CULTURAL NORMS http://sco.lt/5qSxOL FAST FOOD, SLOW DEATH : "Food Deserts" and the Corporate Food Monopoly http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/3599063380/fast-food-slow-death-food-deserts-and-the-corporate-food-monopoly March-April 2012 Watershed Sentinel CORN ON THE BORDER - NAFTA & DRASTIC FOOD CHANGES IN MEXICO http://www.watershedsentinel.ca/content/corn-border-line-how-nafta-changed-food-security-mexico FOOD AID FOR THE 21st CENTURY: MEETING THE OBJECTIVE...OR FEEDING THE BIG AG BIOTECH CHEMICAL CARTEL GRAVY TRAIN? http://sco.lt/6ksGS9 GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS NOT THE SOLUTION FOR "FEEDING THE WORLD" http://sco.lt/77BuML UN: THE ERA OF EVER-LASTING PRODUCTION BASED ON MAXIMIZING PROFITS HAS REACHED ITS LIMITS http://sco.lt/6C3RoH WATCH: VIDEO+++"LAND RUSH.

COUNCIL FOR RESPONSIBLE GENETICS - GENE WATCH Synthetic biology is a nascent but rapidly growing field, worth over $1.6 billion in annual sales today and expected to grow to 10.8 billion by 2016.3 Many of the largest energy, chemical, forestry, pharmaceutical, food and agribusiness corporations are investing in synthetic biology research and development or establishing joint ventures, and a handful of products have already reached the cosmetic, food, and medical sectors with many others not far behind. Much of this focus is being placed on agriculture applications to become the next wave of GMOs - let's call them synthetically modified organisms (SMOs).... THE PERILS OF SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY What's different and possibly more hazardous about synthetic biology is that the DNA sequences and genes being used are increasingly different than those found in nature. While some of these developments sound promising, synthetic biology also has a dark side. If an SMO were to be released into the environment, either intentionally (say, as an agricultural crop) or unintentionally from a lab, they could have serious and irreversible impacts on the ecosystem. Synthetic organisms may become our next invasive organisms, finding an ecological niche, displacing wild populations and disrupting entire ecosystems.8 SMOs will lead to genetic pollution-as happens commonly with GMOs-and create synthetic genetic pollution which will be impossible to clean up or recall. Using genes synthesized on a computer instead of those originally found in nature also raises questions about human safety and the possibility that SMOs could become a new source of food allergens or toxins... Biotechnology is already regulated poorly in the U.S., and SMOs will only push the boundaries of this antiquated regulatory system. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates GMOs through plant pest laws, since most have been engineered through a plant virus. Synthetic biology opens up the possibility for SMOs to be created without plant viruses, meaning those crops may be completely unregulated by the USDA-or any agency.,, http://www.councilforresponsiblegenetics.org/GeneWatch/GeneWatchPage.aspx?pageId=458 WATCH: SUPERB VIDEO by Geneticist, David Suzuki: ***GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD, TREES AND DEFORESTATION - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?

March 1, 2012 The Environmental Magazine Food Fight! Genetically modified ingredients are present in an estimated 75%-80% percent of all processed foods in the U.S ... 61 Countries Label GMOs — But Not the U.S....the California labeling initiative soon became just another speed bump on the biotech industry’s march to dominate food and agriculture systems. Even as the industry corralled and spent upwards of $46 million to eke out a 51.7% to 48.3% marginal victory at the ballot box, they were maneuvering to release a new generation of products that are less regulated, less healthy and less understood by the American public... The GMO industry has long enjoyed a nearly sacrosanct relationship with U.S. regulatory agencies.. Many critics point to the revolving door between government and industry: An alarming list of top governmental officials have been tied to the biotech industry.

Yet, despite all the assurances to the contrary, unapproved genetically modified wheat has been found in an Oregon wheat field, and the implications of its discovery are far-reaching and potentially devastating. Monsanto (NYSE: MON ) may have just single-handedly wrecked the wheat industry and the economy. Corn, soy beans, alfalfa, sugar beets. All these crops have been genetically modified by Monsanto and its GM brethren to the point where there are virtually no alternatives for farmers. GM corn accounts for 86% of the country's supply. More than 90% of the soy beans have been altered. Sugar beets are half the country's sugar supply, and 95% of those seeds are from Monsanto.... http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/06/06/did-monsanto-just-single-handedly-ruin-the-economy.aspx June 5, 2013 New York Times GENETICALLY ALTERED CROP ESCAPE IN OREGON NO SURPRISE http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/06/us/genetically-altered-crop-in-oregon-no-surprise.html?pagewanted=all May 31,2013 Global Possibilities JAPAN AND OTHER NATIONS SAY NO TO U.S. WHEAT, WORRIES ABOUT GMOs http://www.globalpossibilities.org/japan-and-other-nations-say-no-to-u-s-wheat-worried-about-gmos/ WATCH: A GREAT EXPLANATION ON THE IMPACT OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERING OUR ENVIRONMENT AND FOOD *** Video - David Suzuki: "WHAT ARE ROUNDUP READY AND Bt PESTICIDE AND GMO CROPS? - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW" http://sco.lt/7804v3 *** GENETIC MODIFICATION STRAINS OLD FOOD AND DRUG LAWS - HOW A FISH BECOMES A DRUG AND CORN A PEST http://sco.lt/6vynBp THE NEXT GMO BIOTECH WAVE: EXTREME SYNTHETIC GENETICS.

23 March 2013 - Los Angeles Times When is a fish not a fish but a drug? When government regulators take old laws and twist themselves into knots trying to apply them to new technology... Atlantic salmon that grow quickly thanks to a growth hormone gene from another salmon species are deemed "new animal drugs" because the Food and Drug Administration decided to regulate genetically engineered animals under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938. A cotton plant that makes insect-killing proteins with the help of a gene from a soil bacterium is a pesticide in the eyes of the Environmental Protection Agency, which regulates the crop under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act of 1972. In what some critics deem the biggest contortion, many genetically modified crops are classified as "potential plant pests" so that the U.S. Department of Agriculture may preside over them through the Federal Plant Pest Act of 1957 — even though the key traits added to the plants have nothing to do with pests.... http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-gmo-regulations-20130324,0,7244741.story WATCH: *** Video DAVID SUZUKI: WHAT ARE ROUNDUP READY AND Bt PESTICIDE GMO CROPS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9hjy-CJlzbM June 17, 2013 Global Research FDA APPROVES FIRST GMO FLU VACCINE CONTAINING REPROGRAMMED DOG KIDNEY CELLS http://www.globalresearch.ca/fda-approves-first-gmo-flu-vaccine-containing-reprogrammed-insect-virus/5338052 June 5, 2013 The Daily Sheeple NESTLE'S WET DREAM: THEY MARK UP WATER 52 MILLION PERCENT WHILE PATENTING BREAST MILK AND MEDICINAL PLANTS http://www.thedailysheeple.com/nestles-wet-dream-they-mark-up-water-53-million-percent_062013 THE FOOD FIGHT OF OUR LIVES = CROSSING PIGS AND BUTTERFLIES WITH WORMS -- NOT OKAY http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/1699396402/gmos-and-biotech-the-food-fight-of-our-lives-crossing-roses-with-pigs-and-butterflies-with-worms-not-to-mention-corn-with-a-virulent-bacteria PATENT FOR A PIG: BIOTECH SCIENTISTS PUH TO PATENT, "IMPROVE" TRANSGENIC GMO 'ENVIROPIGS" http://sco.lt/8JZpZp BIOTECH IS RE-ENGINEERING, RE-PROGRAMMING AND PATENTING LIFE ITSELF.

May 8, 2013 Common Dreams Foodopoly. It’s about the corporate control of every aspect of our food system, from how what we eat is labeled to the pesticides we’re exposed to. We, the people, must reclaim our democracy. We must reestablish strong antitrust laws to begin the work of fixing our broken, corporate-controlled food system. Our food system should work for consumers and farmers, not big agricultural, processing, retail, and chemical conglomerates. How has consolidation enabled Monsanto, Tyson, Nestle, Kraft, Cargill, McDonalds and other giant companies to write our food policy, and why is it about to get worse? Foodopoly delves into the history of food and farm policy to explain how the food supply became so consolidated. For example, only four gigantic companies process 80 percent of the beef we eat, and only four retailers sell 50 percent of the groceries. Today, one out of every three dollars spent on groceries in the United States goes to Walmart. The top 10 fast-food companies control 47 percent of all fast food sales. Together, these industries have commandeered local economies, and now it is clear that the era of family farmers and mom and pop stores has ended. What’s not as clear is the effect this has on our political system... http://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/05/08-7 @WenonahHauter - Wenonah Hauter's new book Foodopoly exposes the real culprits threatening our food system — consolidation and corporate control — which are preventing farmers from raising healthy crops and limiting the choices people can make in the grocery store.

April 29, 2013 RSN Gidot 'A hidden epidemic is poisoning America. The toxins are in the air we breathe and the water we drink, in the walls of our homes and the furniture within them.

And there's a reason why you've never read about it in the newspaper or seen a report on the nightly news: it has no name - and no antidote.... http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/271-38/17182-focus-how-you-became-a-guinea-pig-for-the-chemical-corporations April 29, 2013 Bill Moyers --- VIDEO REPORT --- YOUR BODY IS A CORPORATE TEST TUBE http://billmoyers.com/2013/04/29/your-body-is-a-corporate-test-tube/ May 1, 2013 Grist YOU ARE A CHEMICAL GUINEA PIG FOR BIG BUSINESS - WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT http://grist.org/business-technology/you-are-a-chemical-guinea-pig-for-big-business-whether-you-like-it-or-not/?utm_source=syndication&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feed May 11, 2013 UNEP UN CONFERENCE TAKES HISTORIC STRIDES TO STRENGTHEN CHEMICAL SAFETY GLOBALLY FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva said that in many countries intensive crop production has depleted agriculture's natural resource base, jeopardizing future productivity. "To fight hunger and eradicate poverty, we will need to find more sustainable ways to produce 60 percent more food by 2050," he said. However, he recognized that chemical pesticides would continue to be part of farming in many parts of the world in future. ... http://www.unep.org/newscentre/default.aspx?DocumentID=2716&ArticleID=9501&l=en THINK THOSE CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES IN YOUR FOOD HAVE BEEN TESTED? http://sco.lt/7QxMob May 13, 2013 Moyers and Company - Full Show: >> WATCH: "THE WAR ON SCIENCE AND TOXIC DIS-INFORMATION http://billmoyers.com/episode/full-show-the-toxic-politics-of-science/ May 18, 2013 Moyers and Company "BLINDING US FROM SCIENCE" | Q&A http://billmoyers.com/2013/05/18/blinding-us-from-science/ GMO TOXINS ARE IN NEARLY ALL PREGNANT WOMEN & FETUSES http://sco.lt/6IHi8P UN REPORT: URGENT ACTION NEEDED: GROWING HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS FROM SPREAD OF CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY: UNEP.

April 23, 2013 - Salon The biotech industry is working to prevent mandatory labeling for foods with genetically engineered contents... The biotech industry, led by Monsanto, will soon descend on the state of Washington to try its best to defeat I-522, a citizens’ ballot initiative to require mandatory labeling of foods that contain genetically engineered (GE) ingredients.

14 Jan 2013 World Development Movement The UK government is yet again undermining grassroots poverty alleviation by channelling UK aid towards huge agribusiness. The Hunger Games, a report recently published by War on Want, criticises the Department for International Development (DfID) for working with the ‘who’s who’ of agrochemical and GM seed companies including Monsanto, Unilever and Syngenta. In coalition with these companies, DfID is funding dodgy agricultural initiatives such as the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). This initiative in particular seeks to “trigger a uniquely African green revolution” by promoting networks of GM seed and agrochemical providers to small farmers.... http://www.wdm.org.uk/multinational-corporations/hunger-games REPORT: THE HUNGER GAMES 2012 - DOWNLOAD.pdf http://www.waronwant.org/attachments/The%20Hunger%20Games%202012.pdf FOOD AID FOR THE 21st CENTURY: MEETING THE OBJECTIVE...OR FEEDING THE BIG AG BIOTECH CHEMICAL CARTEL GRAVY TRAIN? http://sco.lt/6ksGS9 INTERNATIONAL FOOD AID: DUPONT, MONSANTO AND OBAMA VERSUS THE WORLD'S FAMILY FARMERS http://sco.lt/7IhzBB May 21, 2013 Jeffrey Hollender THE POVERTY CREATION INDUSTRY http://www.jeffreyhollender.com/?p=2799 GENE GIANTS SEEK "PHILANTHROGOPOLY" - 6 MULTINATIONAL GENE GIANTS CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF AGRICULTURE http://sco.lt/6h3lzt June 7, 2013 Guardian G8's NEW ALLIANCE FOR FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION IS A FLAWED PROJECT The UK government claims to be commited to ending hunger yet supports a scheme that, billed as good for Africa, is anything but http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/jun/07/g8-new-alliance-flawed-project June 9, 2013 The Guardian G8 NEEDS REMINDING THE MARKET DOESN'T KNOW BEST WHEN IT COMES TO HUNGER - Partnerships with food giants such as Monsanto and Unilever will not eradicate hunger – and they might well make it worse http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jun/09/g8-market-hunger THE GMO JUGGERNAUT: FULL LIST OF COMPANIES INVOLVED IN G8's MULTI-NATIONAL GMO TAKEOVER: All Powerful Corporations Form Global Cartel to push genetically engineered, biotech food onto the world.

March 8, 2013 - Daily Health Post The FDA’s position on genetically modified foods is that they are totally safe to eat, and pose no risk to the health of consumers. But health-conscious eaters (as well as the entirety of the European Union) have some reservations, and recent studies show that an aversion to GMO foods is not just idle paranoia. In fact, crops and meats that have been genetically modified may have a harmful effect on various organ systems and consumers’ health in general. Read on to find out more.

April 12, 2013 Huffington Post Corporate accountability and transparency should be a business practice that all major companies adopt and implement. If you don't have anything to hide, then why not disclose exactly how you do business? Instead, Big Agriculture is trying to deter an honest depiction of what is really happening. To make it illegal for people to disclose information about the inner workings of your business makes it hard for me to trust the product you are selling. Industrial farms that host tens of thousands of livestock are breeding grounds for disease, so antibiotics are used to protect the animals. But those animal antibiotics are then ingested by humans, which can make human antibiotics less effective. Additionally, sometimes the diseases grow resistant to the antibiotics and persist or mutate. Humans eating these sick animals can get sick themselves, like in the case of salmonella and other food-borne illnesses... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/toni-nagy/why-every-parent-should_b_3064957.html June 17, 2013 Treehugger NEED TO KNOW: AG GAG LAWS ARE GROWING THREAT TO FREE SPEECH AND FOOD SAFETY http://www.treehugger.com/corporate-responsibility/ag-gag-laws-are-growing-threat-free-speech-and-food-safety.html Mother Jones July/August Issue GAGGED BY BIG AG http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/06/ag-gag-laws-mowmar-farms Mother Jones July/August Issue YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT PORK PRODUCERS DO TO PREGNANT PIGS? http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/06/pregnant-sows-gestation-crates-abuse WATCH: ANIMAL FACTORY, BY DAVID KIRBY YouTube http://ow.ly/lKcUy ________________AND NOW WE KNOW WHY ______________ April 13, 2013 The Real News VIDEO OBAMA BUDGET PLANS ON REPLACING USDA POULTRY INSPECTORS WITH INDUSTRY SELF REGULATION http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=10052 June 6, 2013 Huffington Post Green USDA INSPECTOR GENERAL: FOOD SAFETY AND HUMANE SLAUGHTER LAWS IGNORED WITH IMPUNITY http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-friedrich/usda-inspector-general-fo_b_3333853.html?utm_source=GRACE&utm_campaign=622fbd5e7e-Weekly_Eco_News_Briefs6_5_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d8918a9897-622fbd5e7e-119751893 June 6, 2013 Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy INVESTIGATION: UNDERSTANDING SHUANGHUI'S ACQUISTION OF SMITHFIELD http://www.iatp.org/blog/201306/%E2%80%9Ctwo-converging-rivers%E2%80%9D-understanding-shuanghui%E2%80%99s-acquisition-of-smithfield April 30, 2013 Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy WORK IN A POULTRY PLANT?
